Use of AI in application: We recognise that AI can be a useful tool when drafting your job application. But when misused, it can make your application generic and lack individuality, meaning your application won't stand out. If you do use AI, please make sure you use it wisely, and ensure that the final application reflects your unique personal experience, accomplishments, and skills.
